An Accessibility Statement tells visitors how accessible your website is, what isn't accessible yet, and how to report a problem. miniterms generates one following the EU model accessibility-statement structure, referencing EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the conformance target.
Who this applies to
The Accessibility Statement option appears in the Generate wizard once your business profile has a website URL — a statement about site accessibility needs a site to describe. It draws on the same identity fields as your other documents (legal name, address, contact) plus accessibility-specific details.
Conformance status
You declare whether your site is fully compliant or partially compliant with the target standard. If you declare anything other than fully compliant, list the specific content or areas that aren't accessible yet and the reason (e.g. being fixed, disproportionate burden). This list must accurately reflect your actual site — miniterms cannot verify it for you.
What the statement includes
- The standard you're targeting (EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 Level AA)
- Your declared conformance status and any non-accessible content, with reasons
- A feedback mechanism — the contact email visitors can use to report an accessibility barrier or request an accessible format
- Where relevant, information on escalating to your country's accessibility-enforcement body
What it does not do
The statement does not certify that your website is accessible. Your declared conformance status is based on your own self-assessment unless you state otherwise — an independent audit carries more weight if your obligations are ever contested. It is not individualised legal advice, and having a professional review it is optional.
Publishing
Generate, save, and publish an Accessibility Statement the same way as your other document types — through the Generate wizard and the Publish page.
